Picture Viewer Only Shows First 21 Images

    Thanks for the plugin!! Here’s my question:

    When I use the shortcode [mla_gallery tag=media] to display the images in my “media” tag, it seems to work fine at first. It creates thumbnails of all the images in the media tag. And when I click on one of the first couple of images, a picture viewer pops up, where you can browse through each picture… However, the picture viewer only shows the first 21 images. If I click on an thumbnail that is past the 21st image, then it doesn’t open up a picture viewer. Instead, it goes to a separate page that shows a clickable version of the individual image.

    Does anyone know why it does this? Is there a setting or something that I’m missing? Where are the picture viewer’s settings? (What is the name of the generic picture viewer that is used with the MLA plugin?)

    Thanks for raising this issue.

    The default mla_gallery] output assigns a link to each gallery item that goes to the WordPress “media page/attachment page” for that item. There is no “generic picture viewer” that comes with MLA, but there are many “lightbox” and “slideshow” plugins you can use with MLA to get all kinds of display variations:

    I do not know why your gallery has different results for the first twenty items. There is no difference in the links MLA generates from one item to the next. However, MLA uses the WordPress wp_get_attachment_link() function to generate the link, and that function can be changed by other plugins.

    Also, the WordPress “media page/attachment page” logic includes some pagination features that allow you to move forward and backward among the items “attached” to the same parent post/page. It is possible that your site has twenty images attached to one post/page, but there are other items assigned to the “media” tag.

    Finally, many themes have different support for “media page/attachment page” features, and this may explain the behavior on your site.

    If you can give me more information about your site’s theme and plugins I might be able to give you a more specific answer. Thanks for your understanding and your patience.
